Annual registration is the same on a 1997 vehicle and a 2008 vehicle, and only $40? I need to move where you live. I won't even tell you what the sales tax and reg costs us on the 2007 GMC P/U we bought last year, it would make your hair fall out.

Good job on all the figures, I think that there comes a point in time where an older vehicle will start nickle and diming you to death and needs to be replaced. That is why we got rid of our last home on wheels, it was killing us with repairs, much more than anyone could have anticipated. If you do buy a new ride, be sure to look into the extended warranty...
